A Moment's Pass
R. Dafremen

What tethers us to you old ground?
What strings or magnets make your tricks?
A feeling bids that I should fly
My dreams equipped with eagle's wings
Sit anchored here upon your soil
Sit left to spoil in crumbly mud
My dearest wishes straining
At your harnesses' stiff grip
Let me fly and away
Leave me soar to tip my wings
A sunset orange reddy glow
The night sky's inky velvet black
And colored sunrise gray azure
Feel winds caress them front and back
Grant me just a moment's pass
Lend me but a brief reprieve
From flat-footed wandering
Dust stirring stumblings
Here upon your loamy breast
Leave me wish upon a chance
Trust that in my skyward dance
I shall not soon forget your grace
I will not stray far from the path
That leads me back into your grasp
A bird that lights on sturdy branch
To fold and stow my weary wings
To hold and know not dreary things
But fondest thoughts of thee.
